Steve Smith has capped his stellar year in Australian cricket with a double nod from the International Cricket Council.

Smith's ascension to the Australian captaincy following the retirement of Michael Clarke came at a time when he was scoring runs for fun.

His 1,260 Test runs -- including five hundreds -- and 804 runs in one-day internationals made him an automatic inclusion in anyone's World XI, and the ICC agreed.

Smith was slated to bat at #5 in both the ICC Test and ODI Teams of the Year. He was joined in the Test line-up by opener David Warner, another no brainer, and form bowler Josh Hazlewood.

Warner and Hazlewood were absent from the ODI squad but there was a place for Mitchell Starc, currently the #1 bowler in the world for the 50-over format.
